Affirming Life, One Patient at the Time

Each year, 2,000 people enter the doors of the New Hope Clinic in Owingsville, Kentucky, in search of medical care. There they meet Deacon Bill Grimes, whose compassion and healing touch has been a sign of hope to the low income, uninsured residents of this rural area. Treating each patient as a beloved child of God, Deacon Grimes provides basic medical services grounded in a deep respect for life. Inspired by his example, volunteers throughout the community have offered more than 29,000 hours of their own time and talent, as well as their treasure, to serve the clinic’s patients.
